This mine, situated west of Camborne town, operated five lodes running in an east-northeast direction: the North lode, Brigand lode, Crane lode, Bejawsa lode, and South lode. Remnants of its operations include an overgrown dump located at the corner of a field, at the end of Cranberry road. Historical records indicate that the mine produced 1,770 tons of copper ore with a grade of 10%, as well as 2 tons of lead ore with a high silver content of 13 ounces per ton. Between 1835 and 1841, the mine operated jointly with Park-an-Bowan Mine and Wheal Wellington, collectively known as De Dunstanville Mines.
